Évian-les-Bains- Neuvecelle walk

A 5-hectare park with two fitness trails and a picnic area. The park features a pond and themed gardens.

Its setting, traditional by its colors and wooden tables, country for its view of the gardens, even has the appearance of distinguished guinguette with its large sunny terrace open in summer. The Chef’s menu is a sign of this bistro spirit.Back to basics with seasonal produce, worked with passion by local men and women such as Pierre Pecquery's fishmonger "du Léman à l'océan", Simon Michoud's charcuterie and Jean-Claude Cartailler's escargotière de Chevenoz, to name but a few. From the kitchen to the dining room, the conviviality of the Bistrot comes alive and spreads through the brigade, this great family of La Verniaz who work daily with the sole aim of welcoming you with talent and love of the profession. The restaurant offers families high chairs, booster seats and colouring books for younger guests.

Inaugurated in 1907, its function was to transport the curists from the large hotels in upper Evian to the spring, the thermal refreshment bar and the thermal establishment (today's Palais Lumière).This electrical traction funicular railway without cogs was built in several sections between 1907 and 1913 by the Lausanne engineer Koller for a subsidiary of the Société des eaux minérales. It transports the tourist clientele from the quays (port, thermal establishment and casino) to the large hotels (Splendide, Royal, Ermitage) via the Buvette Cachat (the thermal refreshment bar). It is called "the small Evian metro" because it serves six stations which are decorated with beveled earthenware tiles. Two cars with five compartments each run on the 750-metre line, including 140 metres underground. Closed in 1969, the funicular railway was started up again during summer 2002 after six years of renovation work. It belongs to the city of Evian and is listed as a historical monument. The funicular is a rare piece of European railway heritage and is one of only three survivors of listed funiculars from the 19th and 20th centuries. The lower station is located rue du port, behind the Palais Lumière. The upper station is at the level of the Grange au lac. Departure: every 20 minutes from both stations. Three intermediate stations: Sources - Mateirons - Hotel Royal. A refreshment bar is open at the Funicular top station from end of June to mid-September from 10.30 am to 7.30pm. Closed in case of rain. Home cooking at any time: toasted sandwich with salad, dish of the day, savory/sweet pancakes, ice cream, lemonade...

Place of conservation of the historical archives of the City and temporary exhibition space, the Maison Gribaldi is one of the last vestiges of old Evian.Built during the Renaissance period, it still has mullioned windows topped with bracketed lintels, a wooden gallery that was replaced identically during the restoration-extension of 2013 and, inside the building, a beautiful stone spiral staircase. Built against the ramparts that encircled the city, it probably belonged to Vespasian de Gribaldi, a friend of François de Sales and former archbishop of Vienne in the Dauphiné, who left his name to it. It may have been an outbuilding of his nearby manor house, located at the corner of the upper street. The historical and iconographic archives will be digitised and accessible to all from computer stations. A valuable educational tool for research, schools and the public. The Maison Gribaldi is open to the public during exhibitions.
